Oh, is that how it works? :D:

The bends look too 'sharp'.

At no more than walking speed of course.....

At 40, yeah. At 10, sort of.

The bends are why we have 10 monorails, but only 3 lines. Statistically speaking, 3 or 4 should make it through.

Hey, check this out!If you stop the video at 1:20, you can see exactly where my room was! It's the set of windows in the turret on the third floor (above the roof to the gift shop. in fact, the point of the roof is in the middle of the middle window)

So cool. Now I can always remember what it looked like not only the station from the room but the room from the station...

thanks for posting that link Red it was too cool.

Those bends are too sharp, technically. We have to go through at under 4 mph (walking speed), and all that time we are looking at our "Beam Contact" screen, a screen that shows every time the train's undercarriage touches the beam. During normal operation these should never register anything, but during a switch they always do.

It is hard on the trains, but they are also designed for that stress.
